Abstract: |
MOLA (Museum of London Archaeology) carried out a trial trench evaluation on land at Graze Hill, Bedford, Bedfordshire, in advance of residential development. Thirty three trenches were excavated. Archaeological remains included one possible Iron Age ditch, a Saxon pit, several medieval ditches and 19th-century brick kiln. In addition 3 ditches and a pit of unidentified date were recorded. Evidence for ridge and furrow cultivation on the site was limited only surviving in a couple of places. Due to the presence of a steep hill in the east and stream in the west the low ground has accumulated build-up of both alluvium and colluvium on the low ground. |
